The point being, it's not the pay rate that is all important. It's the amount we...me...your average pilot, will take home.
BTW, I'm in favor of BOTH a payrate increase AND work rule improvements.

Ah HA! Someone finally admits what I have been saying about this. You have become accustomed to flying 15 days/month. Whatever form the raise comes in, whether it be hourly rate, DPA.. whatever, you are gonna work just as hard as you do right now for that 14% raise rather than only working... let's say 13.2 days for the same coin.. Sexy money is a seductive thing.
